S-Tec 55X Autopilot Overview & Operation

Fly with me on this video and learn which are the main components of the S-Tec 55X Autopilot System and how to operate them inflight. There are different setups for this autopilot in the different aircraft available out there, but it is pretty standard its operation from aircraft to aircraft. I'll give you a lot of tips and full load of information so you can become an expert in this autopilot.

Good refresher AND after 8 years of my 55X, I picked up TWO tips, things I didn't know. AWESOME.

Best STEC 55X auto pilot training video out there. Bravo.

[@MartijnDenecker]

Very good thank you. Flying a P210N for the first time tomorrow. Will be sure to try it all.

Our club Archer has the Stec-55X but it has been out of service for almost 2 years (PA-28 wing spar AD failure). This was a great refresher and learned a few new things too. Thanks.

I have been looking for useful information on the STec 55 and this was truly excellent and thorough! Thank you.

[@LaloMijares]

Glad it was helpful!

[@gavinallen6867]

I have been look for some form of training on the stec 55x and this is the best one by far. Thank you

[@andrewsmactips]

What a great panel. I love the real gauges. Would have this over a glass cockpit any time.

[@josephwhite4716]

Great video, you gave a lot of helpful tips as well as information!

[@FIGUE201]

Exelente video lalo

[@larrydrum]

Outstanding video. Very thorough.

[@formfaktor]

Great stuff man. Getting ready for a Familiarization flight with the S-Tec 55x and this was awesome!

[@lelievre12]

Thanks for making. My new plane has this autopilot and is so great to get a 30 minute run down in practice.

[@deonventer5615]

Superb video. Thank you.

[@michaelwilliamsd.o.5006]

Excellent

[@everettengineers4603]

Thank you!

[@TheAlf61]

Aayyy Lalo! Too bad you did not explain the Control Wheel Steering CWS function and button on the yoke. Great video though!

[@Herbuel]

Hi! I can’t find the way to install this aircraft with this AP. Could you help?

[@michaeldimarco226]

Just in case you're still monitoring. I find my Aztec follows glideslope no flaps above 110 KIAS just fine. Add flaps and slow down, the porpoising begins. Have you had issues like these?

[@DaRealMega]

How do you make the auto pilot fly a holding pattern

[@josephwhite4716]

Do you know how much more sensitive APR is compared to NAV GNSS?

[@paolo4277]

I think it depends on the mode on the Garmin 530. For example, if it's in ENR mode, it is much less sensitive than LNAV mode. And if you are on VLOC mode and tracking a localizer, it gets more sensitive as you approach the runway.

What is the REV button for?

Lalo te felicito por el video, pero tengo una duda con respecto al ajuste del altímetro, se supone que recibís el QNH de la torre y el altímetro mandatorio esta en la doble escala , Mb y IN.HG. Si cuanto ajustas la caja del piloto automático en 3500 pies y el altímetro te queda en 3600 pies, esa ,va a ser la altura correcta por QNH, en ese caso deberías ajustar la caja del Stec y no el altímetro como hiciste anteriormente para calibrarlo .En mi avión tengo un Stec 60-2 con al función GPSS ,una sola caja y un gamín 530 y aunque no es lo mismo tú video me es muy instructivo .Ta gradezco que me confirmes si a tu entender si es correcto lo que te planteo y te felicito nuevamente .Gracias
